The AI model landscape changes every few weeks, yet most professionals can't explain the difference between GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, and Llama — or why it matters. This course provides clear, non-technical orientation to the modern AI stack: what foundation models are, how applications are built on top of them, who the major players are, and how to evaluate and choose between them. You'll understand open-source versus closed-source tradeoffs, data privacy implications for businesses, and the near-term trajectory of AI development. No math, no code — pure strategic and practical literacy.
